2022 Map of Fosston

About this map

Pawnee National Grassland dominates the northwest corner of this plains landscape, marking a protected expanse of shortgrass prairie. The small settlement of Fosston sits along Co RD 80 and Co RD 77, situated near the confluence of Sand Cr and Crow Cr. The terrain is defined by the intermittent drainage patterns of these creeks as they wind through sections of agricultural land and open range. To the north, Bidwell Lake and the prominent Seven Cross Hill provide local landmarks in an otherwise steady topography. Further south, the Klingenberg Flood Control Number 1 Reservoir along Co RD 83 illustrates modern water management efforts within the county's grid-based section lines. This 2022 survey captures the enduring rural character of Weld County, where isolated homesteads and reservoirs are connected by a vast network of county roads including Weld Co Rd 85 and Co RD 74.
